Collection Policy

1. Homeowner assessments are due on the first day of each month, and late if payment is not received by the 15th of the month due.
   
   
2. Assessments not paid by the 15th day of each month due will incur a late charge of $5.00.
   
   
3. Interest will be charged at a rate of 15% per annum for all assessments delinquent for 30 days or more.
   
   
4. Homeowners with unpaid assessments on the 1st of each month following the month due will receive a statement listing all amounts due and payable.
   
   
5. Homeowners with unpaid assessments, which are 60 days late, will receive a reminder letter advising that unless payment is made within 30 days, the account will be forwarded to the Association Attorney for collection. A $10.00 collection charge will be added to the account at this time.
   
   
6. If the account becomes 90 days late, the account will be forwarded to the Association Attorney for issuance of a demand letter. All attorney fees and collection costs for this and any subsequent actions will be added to the Homeowners account.
   
   
7. If the delinquency is not cured within 30 days from the date the demand letter is mailed, the Association Attorney will be requested to place a lien on the property to protect the Association's interest. All fees and costs will be added to the Homeowners account.
   
   
8. If the delinquency is not cured within 30 days subsequent to the lien being placed on the property, the Association Attorney will be requested to pursue the right to non-judicial foreclosure as provided in the Association's documents.
